"took his family ten days through the dessert "
Wow!

Deserts suck - jbmcb 22:33:32 04/02/05 (1)
One day of travel through the desert sucks. Ten days sucks 10x as much. Ten days traveling with your WHOLE FAMILY is unimaginable. Now imagine ten days with your family traveling through *Afganistan* which, even putting aside the desert, was a really nasty place to be at that time.
I suggest picking up a national geographic now and then, maybe some BBC news.

  CBC is pretty good too. For non-pictures, New Yorker is also informative.

Well, it is always easier to do from the comfort of your comfy couch. The journey is made all the more difficult when you consider that there are mines everywhere, warlords who will kill you without a thought, and thieves rampant.
The subject informs us that someone dies in Afghanistan every five minutes from war, landmines, and starvation. I suspect that ten days in the desert, when there is precious little food to take for the journey, and little clean water to take, is a significant ordeal. That IS big pudding. But then again, everyone can hit a 90 m.p.h. fast ball - from their couch.
